| Labraq airport again undamaged in Grad attack |
| 2014-10-16 |
| [Libya Herald] Labraq Airport has been the target of a third missile attack in less than a fortnight. It is being reported that a dozen Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... were fired from a position to the north of the airport. As the the previous attacks, the salvoes missed both the runway and airport buildings, falling instead in surrounding farmland. No injuries have been reported. The same afforested launch area seems to have been used for all three strikes, which are being ascribed to Islamist gunnies from Derna. |
